Lisbon isn’t a city you simply visit — it’s a city you feel. The “Lisboa: Luz” book by Assouline is a luminous tribute to the light, colors, and soul of the Portuguese capital. Across hills, cobblestone alleys, and golden reflections dancing on the Tagus River, it unfolds a sensory experience that touches both memory and imagination.

Through the artistic lens of photographer Ricardo Labougle and the lyrical prose of Hervé Schneid, the book captures a city of contrasts: nostalgic yet contemporary, quiet yet full of life — made of light, patina, tiles, and Fado.

Each page reads like an invitation to a slow, almost melodic journey — echoing the rhythm of Lisbon itself. “Lisboa: Luz” is more than a coffee table book; it is a coveted object for lovers of art, architecture, atmosphere, and everything Portuguese.
